Clinical Trials in India  New seminar announced

Advanstar Communications  organisers of the Applied Clinical Trials European Summit and publishers of Applied Clinical Trials magazine  unveil a new seminar aimed at professionals seeking to conduct trials in India.

The Special Edition Short Course, Conducting Clinical Trials in India, will be an intensive, one-day seminar designed to give delegates a thorough understanding of the clinical trials market in India as well as practical advice for getting started in the region.

Conference Manager Patricia Mitchell explained, India has fantastic potential for clinical trials but its a complex and rapidly developing market, which makes it difficult to assess the best opportunities. This course will present case studies and expert assessments from a range of professionals actually conducting trials in India now.

The programme, developed in association with ACT Seminar Advisor, Dr Jean-Pierre Isal, will cover a range of subjects including; the major clinical trials players in India and their strategies for the future, the best opportunities for foreign companies, how far the challenges of training and auditing are being met, the options for partnering with Indian CROs, outsourcing data management to India, and finally, when it is not a good idea to perform clinical trials in India.
